Freedom Square indirectly welcomed the accession of Armenia to EaEU
“It’s not a matter of impression, but a goal to back the government, restrain the possible complaint, and divert the attention. I am deeply convinced that the actions by the government, and the trio of the four, and I do not know how many they are now, were aimed at one goal: they led Armenia to loss of sovereignty, the Eurasian Economic Union, in organized and systematic way,” such opinion was expressed by Artur Ghazinyan, the Head of the Center for European Studies, in the conversation with “Aravot,” referring to the question-observation of whether he did not get the impression from the rally of Trio held on Friday that these forces, by and large, supports the government in Eurasian integration process, moreover, they indirectly welcomed it.
Note that at the rally of the Trio: PAP, ANC and “Heritage”, only the “Heritage” Party leader Raffi Hovannisian spoke against the Eurasian Economic Union, and whose speech was left unfinished. Later, ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan called those expressing against the irreversible process, by his definition, “convulsion of 20-30 people”.
Yesterday, in the conversation with the journalists at the press conference, the ANC faction leader Levon Zurabyan completed the picture, mentioning, “If you are against the Eurasian Union, who obstacle you to go on the very same day and talk there, protest against Serzh, who signed the agreement. I accuse these twenty – thirty people suffering from convulsion in selling Armenia. They are nervous, but do not go complaining. History will record that on that day when, according to their conclusion, selling of our country’s sovereignty occurred they did not conduct any protest action. Ter-Petrosyan speaks about it, you are unable to set up an agenda.”

It turns out that being against the selling of Armenia’s sovereignty is not included in the agenda of the Trio-Quartet, they complain, but are complaining about the administration rather than this administration sold Armenia’s sovereignty. One can assume that the October 10 rally actually showed that incompatible figures were gathered who cannot take a long way together. Probably, especially, despite all allegations, two days after the rally, Raffi Hovannisian said that there is no single agenda.
The structure of the Trio-Quartet was initially amazing for Artur Ghazinyan. “These forces were not able to form one single agenda, because the “Heritage” has always acted as an advocate of Armenia’s Eurasian integration, it took the course, which was led by the Trio pulling forces: PAP and ANC. But here, a question arises. What does the “Heritage” do in this structure? The answer is a simple. It solves the issue of its staying in the political agenda.” The other forces: PAP and ANC, according to our interlocutor, are solving the issue of preservation of the neo-Soviet regime in Armenia, as they well understand that the independence generation has already been established in Armenia, which, sooner or later, will submit an application for the change of regime, which will bring changes in all areas. “Therefore, conventionally speaking, the forces of the old guard are doing everything to prevent the natural process of generational change. But it is only a matter of time.”
